Commercial Energy Use Worksheet
Did you know?The City of Austin requires all commercial buildings that are 10,000
square feet or greater in size located within its city limits and served
electricity by Austin Energy to benchmark their energy use and submit
that rating annually (Austin City Code, Chapter 6-7). The first reporting
deadline, for buildings 10,000 square feet and larger, is due by June
1, 2014 for energy data including at least from Jan 1, 2013 to Dec 31,
2013. The second reporting deadline, for buildings 30,000 square foot
or larger, and the third reporting deadline, for buildings 75,000 square
foot or larger, are also due by June 1, 2014 for energy data from the first
time reporting period all the way to include at least from Jan 1, 2013
to Dec 31, 2013. This annual benchmarking requirement will establish a
baseline for the energy use of your building that may be beneficial to you,
as well as to the City of Austin.
It’s easyFor your convenience, we have attached an optional worksheet to
help you get started. It contains all of the data fields you will need to
gather about your building characteristics.
» If you are familiar with all of the information about your building listed in
this worksheet, simply fill it out in preparation for performing the online
benchmark rating using ENERGY STAR®’s Portfolio Manager tool.
» If your commercial/industrial/retail space is leased, your tenants will
need to complete this Commercial Energy Use Worksheet. Be sure to
set a date for the return of the worksheet to ensure you have enough
time to complete the benchmark rating before the June 1 reporting
deadline. If your tenant prefers you receive energy use information
directly from Austin Energy, the tenant must give you the signed
Release of Information Authorization form supplied on the last page
of this worksheet.
